These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 LimeWire Development Update, 03-02-11 I hope I will be able to write this every week or every two weeks to keep you informed about LimeWire development. This message contains most of the work that was done during the last few weeks. I will try to explain most of the technical terms as good as I can, but I don't have a degree in computer science either. * Added URNs (basically the hashes of the files you are sharing) to the QRP tables (those tables are sent to the ultrapeer so the ultrapeer can determine if you might have a file matching a query it receives so it can decide whether to pass a Query to you or not). * Improved X-Degree support. New LimeWire ultrapeers as of LimeWire 2.9 or 3.0 which ever is next, will try to keep 42 ultrapeer connections and 40 leaf connections while the TTL (time to live) of each message is reduced from 6 to 4. This should not change Query traffic much but reduce QueryHit traffic significantly. In addition LimeWire will try to use those QRP tables (mentioned above) not only between ultrapeers and leafs but also between ultrapeers and other ultrapeers. * Removed support for old Gnutella 0.4 connections * Added support for Vendor Messages. This is a new message type originally introduced by BearShare. LimeWire will use them to improve automatic firewall detection. * Additions to some of the translations * Fixed new minspeed semantics. The min speed field in Querys was more or less unused because after swarming was added, it did not matter what's speed the remote host was, so it can now be used for something else. The gnutella developers decided to use it to indicate in the query if a host is firewalled and whether or not it wants xml results. The former means that as of the next LimeWire version, firewalled hosts will not receive results from hosts they could never download from. The latter is for non-limewire clients that not necessarily care about xml data, thus it's saving bandwidth. * Some work on the pro-update-branch. This will enable LimeWire users to buy LimeWire pro through LimeWire or something. I'm not sure about it. * Simplified Connection & Handshaking API. (You won't care unless you're a programmer and if you are a programmer, look at the source code yourself). * Lot's of changes to the unit tests. * Saving bandwidth by simplifying XML QueryHits. (Formerly LimeWire was wasting a little bandwidth by sending "plaintext" in each XML QueryHit for the sake of backwards compatibility now it just sends "".) * Improved some error messages * LimeWire now always sends dynamic queries. (Dynamic querying means that an ultrapeer will send a query from one of its leafs to one ultrapeer connection at a time, stopping the search when it has received a certain number of results (80 for new leafs [LW 2.9+], 50 for old leafs and 10 for any urn queries, 160 if the ultrapeer itself originated the query). The number of ultrapeer connections a leaf has by default is reduced to 2. * Added explore button in the library on windows for users who aren't able to find their shared files. (This will open an explorer window). * Improved message & query API * Modified Filters to allow searches by SHA1 hash. This will be useful because the next version of LimeWire will introduce magnet link support. Elsewhere in the world of Gnutella: I finally managed to add magnet link support to my beloved Mozilla using the protozilla.mozdev.org plugin - but I'm still looking for somebody who knows about the KDE API and who can help me with my KIO_Slave to handle magnet links with konqueror (it is working already, even if not quite as I expected). If you want to help, send me a message. A magnet link preview for windows is avaibable here: http://www.limewire.com/magnet/LimeWireMagnet.exe You can test it here: http://www.limewire.com/magnet/magnet-uri-detect.html and of course here: www.bitzi.com gtk-gnutella (for linux) has updated but it still can't compare to limewire because its GUI - excuse me - sucks. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/read_co...0Lindh%3C/a%3E The battle between good and evil, Gnutella and the protocol that calls itself "Gnutella2" continues. http://www.shareaza.com/forum/viewth...ID=4688&Page=3 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/13778 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/13780 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/13782 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/13784 Greg Bildson ( gbildson@limepeer.com ) offered free LimeWire PRO for life to the person that knows how to handle magnet links under MacOSX. Read here: http://www.limewire.org/servlets/Rea...stName=discuss If none of you knows about magnet links, don't worry. You will be able to use magnet links with LimeWire on MacOSX via command-line. (*The linux user chuckles because magnet links already work on his OS*) http://core.limewire.org/servlets/Re...3&listName=dev As I mentioned above, I will try to send those updates regularly for those who are interested. Good night.  |
